By his own estimation, men over 70 have only a 1% risk of dying of COVID if they catch it.

And of course that’s only if they catch the virus. Factor in the probability of catching it in the first place and the chances of dying of covid must presumably shrink significantly further.

How on earth does this become “a very good chance of dying”?

His post has all the hallmarks of a Sage presentation. First you grossly exaggerate the danger presented by Covid, then you make an emotional tie to the misrepresentation, all the while completely ignoring the impact of lockdown, as though it had no victims.

Sage do it because the thing they fear most is the possibility that we try a different approach to that which they recommend, and find that it works. And that they end up then being blamed for the devastation to our economy, for compromising our children's education and for the overall impact on our way of life. Worse yet, that outcome would prove that they lacked the humility to admit what they didn't really know, and that we paid a massive price for that conceit.

Lord knows why Berni does it.
